It seems the press has given up the ghost. Nary a mention of the Rove issue. I guess I will only continue this series as and when they do ask.

It's been fun following one story. And having had to actually file some stories to real media outlets over the last few months (after a long time), I have developed a healthy respect for what folks in the press do. Individually, we can mouth off about this person or that organization, but when one is faced with filing a coherent, complete story, it is difficult to express opinions. Of course, this is a comment about people trying to file real news stories, not opinion pieces or fluff.

About Me

I am a social, business, and technical communicator based in the San Francisco Bay/Silicon Valley Area and involved in communications projects both here and around the world.

My professional interests include Web 2.0 and Social Media; Business Communication, Marketing & Branding; as well as user-focused communication and product design. I have named three Silicon Valley companies (including one that was acquired and another that is a major player in its space) and consult on social media presence, business plan and other documents, media design, and the like. I am also the founder for two Wikia wikis and a recovering Wikipediholic, remaining engaged with the Wikipedia and other wikis on issues where I can make a difference.

My social engagement includes human rights, social justice, as well as social and political issues of Muslim ("Islamic") communities in the West and "at home". A particular focus is both moderate/centrist traditions and alternatives, as well as engagement with Progressive and Left movements and groups.

An involvement and work in the field of new media in activism, of course, is a by-product of my two "lives" above.

I am available to work, help, discuss, and learn by engaging in exciting projects in all the areas mentioned above.
